As a bracelet or jacket
Some people may already dream of being invisible. This is at least partly possible now. Researchers have developed a wearable device that makes its wearer almost invisible until some camera sensors.

Wearable devices similar to smartwatches do not make the wearer's part completely invisible, but at least make them disappear from technologies such as thermal cameras or night vision devices. Researchers at the University of California, San Diego have now successfully accomplished this feat with special materials that can adapt to ambient temperatures through rapid phase changes.

This can adapt its surface heat to the ambient temperature, sometimes only a few seconds. Keep the inside at the temperature of your own skin to make it as comfortable as possible. The material is said to be able to compensate for temperature fluctuations between 10 and 38 degrees in one minute, as shown in the video below.
The bracelet can be seen in the video, but the technology can also be installed in the jacket, but no prototype is available. Because the technology is still in beta and not intended for commercial use. So far, this is a feasibility study for the university.
Whether this wearable technology can achieve free trade remains to be seen. Basically, such gadgets are more suitable for professional use or military use. However, this gadget is interesting, most likely from a James Bond movie.
